Well, I'm aware of two such codecs, Shorten and APDCM IMA WAV (maybe
other adpcm codecs are affected too).

ADPCM case is just because of avctx->block_align, it block_align is
set, decoder picks packet and decodes data only from one
block. This hack could be removed and all this handled in decoder itself.

Shorten is another story, iirc there are no packets, you get data and
start decoding until something happens ....

They may be other audio codecs that are affected by this.
All video ones should be fine I guess.
